MorrisrownSal Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I will never buy a guitar with a top crack... My Farida got a humidity related center seam crack. I’ve had it “permanently “ repaired twice. I can handle it on a Farida. I’d not be able to with a fine Gibson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegreatgumbino Posted July 17, 2018 Author Share Posted July 17, 2018 Wouldn’t stop me if it sounded good. I bought a Cole Clark many years ago with a center seam separation. Proper humidification and cleat and it should be good to go. That’s the only guitar I regret selling. It was special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

62burst Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Let that be your beater! Red 333 Perfect. A beater Bird is an uncommon thing to find. Right in Sal’s neck of the woods, too. Is it really a center seam separation? 1 inch off of the “wing” of the bridge on the treble side of the lower bout almost looks to be a crack. (?). And it comes with that case, too.(+1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blindboygrunt Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Just play whatever guitar makes you happy Sal Only here once ... Worth money but they’re only guitars to make a nice noise and inspire us And while I could be rightly accused of being in the ‘doesn’t matter what guitar you play’ camp , I’ve been proved wrong a few times with people saying ‘that’s a nice guitar’ And more importantly it makes me happy playing it , therefore I play better , I reckon anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-minor7 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Let that be your beater! Good thinking straight from the hat ✔ I wouldn't mind having a seriously repaired high-end guitar. But, yes it becomes something else. A ragged king in strongest sense of the phrase. In fact I already have one. The HD-28V of 2 I kept has a fixed cracked seam. Did it myself with wood-filler and paint and fine sandpaper. Also sanded down a lot of the V-shaped neck and the hog is now raw and unprotected. Doesn't matter - the guitar can take it and so can I. The truth is these stunts brought us closer together. Then again, , , a Hummingbird TV is different - it was meant to be so beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
